The main issue was deciding what to play: Should it be old Ramones material or new material? I had about three albums worth of new material, but I knew that people would rather hear the Ramones songs.

It's very hard to tour.

I just being able to write songs I'm proud of and finding some women to play with is exciting.

When I met Ronnie Spector, she walked in and said, 'You look like me.'

It's very expensive to bring a band to New York.

When I got into rap I didn't exactly win any popularity contests. I called myself Dee Dee King, after B.B. King, to the total dismay of my fellow Ramones.

I had a really intense flying dream most of my childhood into my teens. I would go out at night and fly all over the city and I could facilitate other people to fly with me.
